Re: What is blooming in your garden today (other plants)?
NEED SOME HELP
Here are 3 different hardy hibiscus plants blooming today in my yard. All are 'red', although A and C have more 'fuchsia'. None has an ID. Note the different petal arrangement. Flowers A and C both have petals that tend to be separately displayed, while B tends to have overlapping petals.The distinguishing characteristic is the color of the stigma....yellow in C, red in A. Can anyone help me in ID'ing these hardy hibiscus? C reminds me of Texas Star, but it has a huge flower, up to a foot wide. I appreciate any help here. (Note- if desired I can also post pics of the leaf for each.)

Hibiscus A
Hibiscus B
Hibiscus C
